The classic jean: it’s timeless. It’s effortless. It’s popular. It’s a staple.
With back-to-school fashion, you probably have seen your fair share of jeans and their variations. Some people rock the boot cut, some rock the skinny. Some prefer the basic blue denim while others prefer bold prints and colours.
No matter how you wear them, jeans are a wardrobe staple that can be worn for all occasions, any day of the week. With these ideas, you won’t need to spend hundreds of dollars on new tops and bottoms!
The Five-Minute Look
Did you tap that snooze button again? Your outfit doesn’t have to look like you did! Go for something quick and easy by pairing your jeans with basic T’s and a hoodie, or a statement t-shirt with a cardigan. Pair it with a good pair of Converse and you’ll be good to go. Keep a couple of these shirts set out so that your room doesn’t look like a warzone in the aftermath!
Comfortable and Cozy
Number one fall fashion favourite? Oversized sweaters! Stay cozy during the lecture with sweaters of all kinds, from light cotton at frosh week to cable knits during finals. Sweaters are best paired with jeans because of its classic look and ability to balance the outfit. Add a patterned scarf or vintage necklace to showcase this simple yet comfortable statement.
School Spirit
Big sporting event coming up at your school? Rock those school colours and jerseys! Pairing these items with simple jeans draws more attention to your love for your school. Even cooler? Choose one of your school colours and incorporate that into your jean: coloured jeans are highly fashionable right now. Add that with a school jersey and you’ll be the team’s number one fan!
(Study) Date Sweet
Jeans are the most popular item of choice for any kind of date. Jeans don’t intimidate and provide a casual and fun atmosphere. For any study date (or even just a date with the cute guy from Bio), jeans can be dressed up as well as down. Ideas for possible combinations? Chiffon shirts with cute flats, floral tops and combat boots. Or a simple plaid shirt with Vans are just the start. Any personality can be paired with jeans for a fun and easy (study) date look!
Night Out on the Town
Here’s the situation. You want to dress up fancy. But, you don’t really dig skirts. Fortunately, jeans can be dressed up effortlessly! Items such as cute blouses and coloured blazers with statement jewelry give new, fancy life to your jeans. Pair it with heels or boots and you are on your way to rocking the town!
